Today marks the start of Ghost Month. A season often misunderstood as unlucky or scary. 🕯️✨

In truth, Ghost Month is about remembrance. It is when spirits, especially those forgotten by their descendants, are believed to return to the earthly realm. Families light incense, prepare food offerings, and honor ancestors to show care and respect.
It is not just superstition. It is a reminder of filial piety, gratitude, and the connection between the living and those who came before us.

Whether you follow the rituals or simply take a quiet moment to reflect, Ghost Month is a time to pause and honor memory. 🌙

Chinoy charmer and actor, Dustin Yu, captivates as the latest cover star of VMAN Southeast Asia ✨

Well-loved as the “Chinito Boss Sikap” of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition, Dustin has steadily built a name for himself not just in entertainment but also as an entrepreneur and community figure. His journey is marked by contrasts, from building a restaurant from the ground up and leading a basketball team with instinct, to stepping into the unpredictable world of reality television.

In his exclusive cover story with VMAN Southeast Asia, Dustin shares how he entered the spotlight without a set game plan, choosing instead to stay true to himself. “I didn’t have a game plan. I just decided to be myself,” he reveals. This grounded mindset continues to guide his career where balance, discipline, and authenticity remain at the center.

Dustin Yu’s feature reflects his steady rise. He treats ambition not as a sprint but as a rhythm where acting takes precedence while never overshadowing the other roles he values in life. From his beginnings in Quezon City to becoming a recognized face in fashion and television, Dustin proves that charm, character, and resilience go hand in hand.

The milestone also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the national Fil-Chinese Amity Club and the 30th anniversary of its Baguio Chapter, honoring decades of friendship, remembrance, and service. 🎉🤝

The program began with a ribbon cutting by 20 members of the Baguio Chapter, followed by opening remarks from Mr. Mariano Chua, FCACI National President. Messages of remembrance and support were delivered by Dr. Ray Dean D. Salvosa (University of the Cordilleras), historian Mr. Muller Bato, Mrs. Teresa B. Pomar (sons and daughters of WWII veterans), and government leaders including Congressman Mauricio Domogan, Governor Melchor Diclas, and Mayor Benjamin Magalong. 🙌🕊️

Beyond commemoration, the event became a gesture of service — with donations of school supplies, food packs, medical equipment, home kits for the visually impaired, a wheelchair, and a motorcycle for the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) to support the community. 🎁❤️

Closing the celebration, Mr. Fernando Tiong, President of FCAI-Baguio Chapter, expressed gratitude to all partners and guests for keeping history alive while advocating peace and unity for generations to come. 🌏🙏
